Concentration of ABA (A) and anthocyanin (B) during fruit ripening in ‘Suziblue’ and ‘Powderblue’. Relative abundance of transcripts involved in ABA biosynthesis (C, D) and anthocyanin biosynthesis (E–H) during fruit ripening in the two cultivars. Values represent means and standard errors of at least three replicates. ANOVA was used to test for significance (α = 0.05) among stages within a cultivar and means separation was performed using Tukey’s HSD. Means followed by different letter are significantly different with upper and lower case for ‘Suziblue’ and ‘Powderblue’ respectively. NCED: 9-CIS-EPOXYCAROTENOID DIOXYGENASE, CHS: CHALCONE SYNTHASE, UFGT: ANTHOCYANIDIN 3-O-GLUCOSYLTRANSFERASE
